Pyongyang, October 23 (KCNA) -- Jo Chol Su, director general of the Department of International Organizations of the Foreign Ministry of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, made public the following press statement on Monday:
There took a vote at the UN Security Council's open meeting on October 18 on the resolution with the permission of the humanitarian access to the Gaza Strip of Palestine as its core.
The absolute majority of the member states supported the resolution, however, the U.S. alone exercised veto for the mere reason that the "right to self-defense" of Israel was not mentioned, thus making the resolution fall to be rejected.
The "determination" of the U.S. at a time when the international community is grieving over the worst humanitarian disaster since the Second World War, by which more than 500 civilians were killed due to Israel's brutal bombing of a hospital in Gaza Strip, is an insult to the innocent souls of Palestine.
This clearly proves that the U.S. is, indeed, an accomplice in massacre, chieftain of human rights abuses and enemy of peace in the Middle East as it wantonly violates the international humanitarian law and the international human rights law and connives at and fosters the crimes against humanity.
What merits a more serious attention is the shameless double-dealing standards of the U.S. towards the "right to self-defense".
As everybody knows, the U.S. has questioned about the DPRK' every legitimate exercise of the right to self-defence to cope with the hostile forces' large-scale war moves for aggression on the Korean peninsula as a "threat to international peace and security".
The U.S. is zealously patronizing the atrocities of its "ally" as the "right to self-defense" though the latter is unhesitatingly committing massacres of civilians and bringing humanitarian catastrophe to the Middle East.
It is the height of extreme double-dealing standards and shamelessness which is unacceptable to anyone to denounce the exercise of the right to self-defence which did not cause any slightest damage to the security of neighboring countries as a "threat" but to justify with the "right to self-defense" Israel's act which left thousands of civilians killed and caused a humanitarian crisis.
It is none other than the U.S. to distinguish justice and injustice according to such rules that the performer of act is a pro-U.S. or an anti-U.S. state and to regard the UN as the only tool for realizing its political purpose. Such fact showed once again that the U.S. is the worst criminal state which destroys fair international order.
The U.S. should explain the reason for its exercise of the veto right before the 193 UN member states within a few days in accordance with the resolution of the UN General Assembly adopted in April last year.
In fact, this system explaining the reason for the exercise of the veto was invented by the U.S. in a bid to drive the permanent member states which are opposed to its high-handed and arbitrary practices into a tight corner at the UNSC.
The U.S., who had uttered yells of delight while putting its rivals on the "dock" and exerting collective pressure upon them, has been caught in trap it has set.
The international community should raise the voices of denunciation against the U.S. which is disturbing the regional and global peace and security and conniving at and fostering massacre of civilians and humanitarian large disasters with high-handed and arbitrary practices and double-dealing standards. -0-
